Critter Notices
Critters is 30!
Last November, Critters turned 30 years old! Wow! Thanks so much to all of you, who've made it such a resounding success!
FEATURED BOOK
It's Moved! You want the NEW Critters Store, which is here...
(Old) Critters Store
Critter folk can support the workshop via purchases from certain sites. Critters gets a small commission if you make purchases from these sites below. (That is, Critters earns a commission if you buy something. These are not "pay-per-click" ads like the ads on the top and sides of the pages. These are called "pay-per-action", so it doesn't cost the advertiser any money if you click on these affiliate ad links below just to explore their site if you're interested in what they offer. They're part of the Google Affiliate Network or CJ.com, both reputable affiliate programs.)
While the best way to support the Critters fund drive is a donation (since Critters gets all the funds from a donation), if you're wanting to buy something from these companies below anyway, it would be great to do it here so you can support Critters at the same time. We've got books (on writing, genre reading, textbooks, etc.), ebooks, magazines (including Asimov's and Analog for your fantastical pleasure), stuff from Writer's Digest, and other things that Critterfolk might already be thinking of buying, like shopping online at Target.
If you do place an order through one of these links please let me know so I can verify that it gets counted.
Thanks!

Aburt's ebooks make great gifts. :) I now sign and personally inscribe them. If you're a South Park fan, you can Own a Square Inch of South Park. (Seriously!)
(Yes, this gem of a property is owned by your
very own Critter Captain. We inherited it. It's bloody useless and just
costs taxes, but then, Idea!! Or as I say, where
does Mr. Hankey live? On
Kickapoo Rd!
Visit
online or IRL.
Great gift for Christmas / Hanukkah / Kwanzaa / Festivus!)
Also available via ebay.
Speaking of Netflix, I've fallen in love with the streaming. Before I tried it I didn't think I'd like it, but I did the free trial, and between the streaming and getting DVDs fast in the mail I confess I've become a big fan. This link should be for the free trial: You can get magazines from Blue Dolphin, like Asimov's and Analog (and tons of others of course). Here's the main link —

There's always something you need at Target: A lot of writers are also wine enthusiasts, so here are a couple links for that. The GoldMedalWineClub.com delivers great wines to your doorstep each month, and there's all the stuff from Wine Enthusiast. If not for you, these make great gifts:
